Designers and musicians have also invited to create the above items for the 11th ASEAN Para Games which will follow the SEA Games in Hanoi and surrounding areas.

The contests are being run by the National Sports Administration, the Vietnam Olympics Committee and Hanoi City Trail Company.

Vietnamese citizens from 15 years old and above can enter. Submissions will be accepted from September 1 to October 10 with the winning ones to be announced in a ceremony on October 30 live aired on Thể thao TV and Bóng đá TV. The deadline for the song competition is November 10.

The winning designer for each work will receive VNĐ30 million while the musician with the chosen song will get VNĐ50 million.

The 31st SEA Games’ slogan, logo, mascot and song will be introduced during the 30th Games in the Philippines later this year.

Miss Vietnam and Miss Universe 2018’s top five H’Hen Nie will be the contests' ambassador while other influencers such as rapper Den Vau and MC Quang Bao will attend.

The SEA Games and Para Games are two biggest sporting events held every two years in the region.

It will be the second time Vietnam has won the right to host the Games, following the first time in 2003.
